  Dear Jehova's Witnesses I have a question about your views in evolution.

  by Deimos_Sec in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been wondering why your organization cannot accept evolution?

  (when i say "cannot accept" i mean: you see it as anti christian) the reason i'm so curious about this is because by putting this here i hope to get smarter answers than i usually get, and also because you don't seem to put things like quantum theory, string theory, under the "evil scary scientific stuff label", also many religions have accepted evolution as most likely possible, or as something that is ok to believe since god could have used evolution to create mankind, in fact evolution isn't a "religion" and automatically doesn't get you labeled as an atheist, unless you are talking to the wrong person.

  i am by no means trying to make you believe in evolution, i will respect you views, i believe every man has free will, well it kind of says it in the bible.

  Welcome.

  Good that you left at such a young age.

  I liked that you asked your questions in a very respectful way.

  A JW forum is JWTALK. But I doubt that they will allow a controversial discussion there.

  I have tried really hard to be worldly, for ten years, tried to get worldly friends, and get back with family.

  i am so bad at being worldly, it's not like i gave it a good try, we are just not good at it my husband and i, i see him light up as he has started to read the bible again.

  i'm good at being a witness, i am accepted, and hold the same beliefs, i have tried to find somewhere else, if there is a place, why hav'n't jehovah and the angels directed me to it?

  thank you for all the loving posts, some of them have been just what i needed.

  To categorize people and to look down on one category is what dictatorships and cults do.

  So calling someone "worldly" or on the other side "brother" is something very dangerous.

  If you need organized religion, look for one that fulfills your needs.

  You can however also be very spiritual without organized religion. Spiritual as a moral person and free individual.

  Poopie, you are already mentally out... you know that WT rules, especially shunning is cruel and against human rights.

  So why would you want to solve this problem the WT way?

  If you told the elders, you would be supporting WT provisions. Wouldn't that be a little hypocritical.

  OK, you don't like and you don't find it OK for this man to go to prostitutes and taking drugs.

  So talk to him in private about it and tell him why you find he should change his behaviour. Show him some ideas how he can stop with the drugs, maybe special therapy.

  But don't hound the elders on him.

  And 60 cans of beer in one night. This guy had to pee a lot that night. Maybe he had a party with the 10 prostitutes (did you count them). According to my math skills everyone would have been drinking a little less than 6 beers, which would sound more realistic ;-)

  Ideas for letter to Dr about blood card blackmail and what it means?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  following on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.

  i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?

  ideas gratefully received thanks x.

  It's good to talk to the doctor. But it's also good to not fill in the blood card. This is a personal matter concerning only yourself.

  Remember....

  .... they don't have any power over you, except you give it to them.

  Train it many times (not only for this blood card matter but for all the matters concerning elders).

  Elder: "We need a copy of your blood card." or "We need to talk to you in the backroom."

  Awake JW: "My dear brother, Thank you so much for your concern/help/personal interest. I appreciate it very much that you care for me. BUT NO. I DON'T SEE IT NECESSARY THAT YOU HAVE A COPY OF MY BLOOD CARD! / NO, I DON'T NEED YOUR VISIT RIGHT NOW. If ever I see the need (for having my bloodcard / visit) I will let you know."

  Train it often so that you can say it in your sleep. Then enjoy the reaction on their faces.

  They might ask further but you need to stick to it.

  How are awake JWs going to deal with the life and death, Dual Power of Suicide, no blood card issue?

  by Island Man in

  there was a recent leak of a letter to congregations regarding a new dpa no blood card.

  part of the letter reads as follows:.

  as a reminder, you should provide copies of your completed advance decision document to (1) those who served as witnesses, (2) your general practitioner (doctor), and (3) your congregation secretary.

  Dear Christian and Katja

  I looked at some of your videos now. I literally cried, because you do that in such a kind, loving and supportive way.

  You are a great help for JWs seeing your videos, for JWs having doubts and for ex jws too.

  Thank you so much.

  Love

  New Light - Two Sticks in Ezekiel - July 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ezekiel 37:15-17 prophesies about two sticks being joined together to become 1. one stick represented the two tribe kingdom of judah and the other stick represented the 10 tribe of israel (ephraim).

  the article explains how the coming together of these two sticks meant the reuniting of these tribes in 537 bce.the modern day fulfillment was previously taught to mean that the anointed had once again come together in unity in these last days.the july watchtower now explains that one stick, the stick of judah, represents the anointed and the other stick, the stick of ephraim, represents the other sheep.

  they further explain that since 1919 god's people have gradually reunited to become one flock.they are now saying that the other sheep are represented by 10 tribes of israel.

  New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

  7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  Those who think the WT stance on shunning has loosened, I recommend to look at this thread.
